Read Text Lines from a Text File
Reads a text file in ins entirety, re-encodes it, and splits it into text lines.
stri_read_lines(con, encoding = NULL, fname = con, fallback_encoding = NULL)
con |
name of the output file or a connection object (opened in the binary mode) |
encoding |
single string; input encoding;
|
fname |
deprecated alias of |
fallback_encoding |
deprecated argument, no longer used |
This aims to be a substitute for the readLines function,
with the ability to re-encode the input file in a much more robust way,
and split the text into lines with stri_split_lines1
(which conforms with the Unicode guidelines for newline markers).
The function calls stri_read_raw,
stri_encode, and stri_split_lines1,
in this order.
Because of the way this function is currently implemented, maximal file size cannot exceed ~0.67 GB.
Returns a character vector, each text line is a separate string. The output is always marked as UTF-8.
